It’s You | 要如何撑下去



Though I am having a mid-term test later, dunnoe why on earth am I typing this blog post. Studying is really not my cup of tea. Before continuing with my books, think I will rant a bit to let off…

There are times when I wondered, what’s man’s purpose in the endless pursuit of knowledge. Maybe it is the power that comes with it. The idea of superiority when you know something which others do not know may be one of the answers. It makes people feel important in life, to be the subject matter expert in that area. To leave his or her name in the history as the person who postulated this or the pioneer in this area sounds attractive enough. For some, it is truly their interest, which spurs them to further their studies in that area. However, for most people, it is for that piece of paper which will be their stepping stone to securing a job.

With the limited brain capacity, are we really able to learn so much? Seems like many things these days are meant to be memorized and forgotten after the exams. Worse still, for many people after graduation and start working in the society, they slowly realize that what they have learnt has little or nothing to do with their job. Mind you, a simple university course takes about 3 years, some even longer than that. That’s the amount of time wasted. It further reinforce that the degree is just a piece of paper to get a job.

I was asking someone what he wants to major in university, and the response was anything. What he wants to do later in life, the answer was also anything. Sometimes I really wonder, people really grow up not knowing what they want to do in life. Sadly, I am one of them. For years I have been putting in effort in the path that has been laid for me by the society. Always aim to perform well, and not being satisfied with just being above average has brought me so far today. From the moment I left my primary school, I was in the elite track all the way, be in the schools that are high-ranked or in places you would have heard before. One fine day in university life, I was struck by the fact that I do not know what I want to do in life. I know about the path I that I am stepping on now but never confirming it whether it is what I really want to do.

I have a dream, but I had quickly snubbed it as it is out of my reach. It was until yesterday that I realise what had happened. This particular friend of my wanted to study medicine, but his grades was horrendously bad. He told me he wanted to re-take his exams to get better grades. The catch is, he would do it 2 years later when he has sufficiently prepared for the examinations. Honestly, I was thinking, unless he goes overseas to further his studies, else it is practically impossible no matter how hard he works. It was only then I realised that I had the same attitude when facing my own dreams. I never tried at all and I immediately deemed it impossible as I had felt that I was not talented enough. I had believed that working hard will not make up for my shortcomings. Will this be my regret in life?

最近真的很累。。。不想读但是没办法还是得撑下去。一直以为自己在人生的道路上都很努力,很用心,但近日却发现自己错了,甚至是错的很离谱。真希望有人能出现指点谜经,要不然我还是会走在自己糊里糊涂铺的路。

I don’t need anyone else, it’s only you
When you ask again, it’s only you
Even if you already have another love
I can’t forget you, I can’t turn back around
Oh ~
The moment my eyes began to burn
The moment my heart was captured by you
I have no regret, I chose you
That’s right, it’s you
Chorus :
Oh whatever anyone anyone says, it doesn’t matter to me
Oh whoever whoever curses me, I’ll only look at you
Even when I’m born again, it’s still only you
(Still Still) Even as time goes by
Oh when you tell me you love me
When you tell me thousands and millions of times
Even when my heart sets on fire, my dry lips wear out
Even when I’m born again, it’s still only you
(Still Still) Even as time goes by
Oh oh only for you Oh oh only for you
Oh oh only for you Oh oh only for you
Oh oh only for you Oh oh only for you
Oh oh only for you
It’s you
I don’t need any words. it’s just you
“ It’s too late “ , but for me it’s just you
I know our love is wrong
I can’t give up, I can’t let you go
Ah Ah
My lips, cold as can be, are even more blue
I cry out to find to find your warmth
I call, even though I call for you
And there’s no reply, I’ll wait for you
Chorus :
Oh whatever anyone anyone says, it doesn’t matter to me
Oh whoever whoever curses me, I’ll only look at you
Even when I’m born again, it’s still only you
(Still Still) Even as time goes by
Oh when you tell me you love me
When you tell me thousands and millions of times
Even when my heart sets on fire, my dry lips wear out
Even when I’m born again, it’s still only you
(Still Still) Even as time goes by
Oh oh only for you Oh oh only for you
Oh oh only for you Oh oh only for you
Oh oh only for you Oh oh only for you
Oh oh only for you
For me, it’s you, it’s you
Why don’t you know, why don’t you know?
For me, it’s you, it’s you
Oh whatever anyone anyone says, it doesn’t matter to me
Oh whoever whoever curses me, I’ll only look at you
Even when I’m born again, it’s still only you
(Still Still) Even as time goes by
Oh when you tell me you love me
When you tell me thousands and millions of times
Even when my heart sets on fire, my dry lips wear out
Even when I’m born again, it’s still only you
(Still Still) Even as time goes by
